Pointro Campsite (Maroon Dam)

About Pointro Campsite

 

Looking for a quiet, no-frills camping experience? Pointro Campsite offers spacious, unpowered sites along the scenic banks of Maroon Dam in Queensland’s beautiful Scenic Rim region, perfectly positioned between Boonah and Rathdowney, and just 90 minutes from Brisbane.

No distractions. No crowds. Just the essentials.

Essential Amenities for a Comfortable Stay

With basic amenities including toilets, hot showers, and firepits, Pointro is ideal for those wanting to unplug and reconnect with nature. Spend your days fishing, hiking, enjoying water sports, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

For larger groups or those who prefer indoor comfort, our Bunkhouse sleeps up to 36 and includes a huge kitchen, hot water, satellite TV, and a games room—perfect for youth camps, retreats, or family gatherings.

Wildlife and Natural Beauty

Wake to birdsong, watch wallabies grazing at dusk, and enjoy the serenity of native bushland right outside your tent or bunkhouse. The area is rich in wildlife and offers a true escape into nature.

Explore the Scenic Rim

Pointro is also close to some of the Scenic Rim’s best attractions, including Mount Barney National Park, local wineries, and charming country towns—making it a great base for exploring the region.

Responsible Use of the Pointro Campsite and Water Access

At Pointro Campsite, we are committed to preserving the natural environment and maintaining our licence agreement with SEQ Water. To ensure continued access to this beautiful space, we ask all visitors to carefully observe the following guidelines.

Vehicles are strictly prohibited from parking within 20 metres of the water’s edge. Additionally, vehicles must remain on the designated road and are not permitted to drive down to the boat ramp. After launching boats, all vehicles and trailers must be moved back up the hill and parked within the Pointro boundary.

For those setting up marquees or similar structures, please ensure they are positioned at least 6 metres from the water. This buffer helps protect the shoreline and complies with safety and environmental standards.

Boats may be moored during the day, allowing for recreational use and enjoyment of the water. However, all boats must be removed from the water overnight. This is a non-negotiable condition of our licence with SEQ Water.

Please be aware that any breach of these rules may result in fines issued by SEQ Water. These fines will be passed on to the responsible party. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain this space for everyone’s enjoyment and for future use.
